Pronunciation Of 1855 Bordeaux – Fourth & Fifth Crus

How To Pronounce The Names Of The Wines Of The 1855 Fourth And Fifth Crus

This post follows on from the previous one which was how to pronounce the wines of the First and Second Crus of the Bordeaux 1855 Classification. The links lead to the home-page of each of the Châteaux, where available. The pronunciation of the 1855 Bordeaux Fourth and Fifth Crus follows the same format – the pronunciation of each wine is given in audio as well as phonetic spelling.

The AOC of each wine is given , because you can’t separate these wines from their Appellations, but I give the phonetic spelling only once for each Appellation. For full details on the AOC system of ranking wines, how to pronounce it, as well as a comparison with other European wine naming systems such as the DOCG in Italy, please follow the link). French pronunciation is fairly standard, but in the case of wines, the names often have old or foreign language roots, which means pronunciation can be unconventional. I have contacted most of the Châteaux myself to verify pronunciation – a few could not be reached and don’t appear to have websites, so you do have a reliable reference hre.
